Drum Deheaders

What You Need to Cut the Top and/or Bottom off a Closed-head Drum

You need the right drum deheading tool. To choose the right tool, you
first need to know if anything is in the drum - for instance, if the
drum contains flammable vapors. Also, what is your intention for the
drum? To dispose of it as scrap metal or to make it a trash can or
other type of usable container?

By using a drum deheading tool you can have a choice of
disposing of your drum as scrap metal or turning it into a trash can or
another type of usable container.

Warning - using incorrect tools can be dangerous

Why put yourself in harms way by using tools not designed to do the job correctly?

You could cut off the drum top with a cutting torch (very dangerous if
the drum contains flammable vapors) or use a saws-all (same dangers
apply), but either method could take a lot of time and all you would
have left is a piece of scrap metal.

Hand Operated Deheaders

The logical and economical choice for low volume, occasional use, deheading up to 10 drums per week.

Several styles to choose from, including the option of a non-sparking
blade for deheading drums that may contain flammable vapors.

Never attempt to dehead a drum containing flammable vapors with a
standard deheader - it could cause an explosion. Use a manual deheader
with a non-sparking blade or a non-ferrous cutting wheel when working in
a flammable area.

Wiz-Kid® Electric Deheaders

A good choice for the operator who deheads up to 25 drums per week.

After adjusting the unit, a few self-powered trips around the drum head allows the lid to break free.

Wiz-Kid® Electrics are not lightning fast but they are faster than a manual deheader.

A "hands-safe" edge is left to help minimize accidents.

Industrial Deheaders

Choose one of these for deheading more than 25 drums per week.

In less than one minute, these super machines power themselves around a drum making a smooth, continuous cut

A "hands-safe" edge is left to help minimize accidents.

Turn your drums into reusable containers or quickly make them ready for disposal.

This heavy-duty drum deheader is made of ductile iron, which is more
resilient than conventional cast iron and can withstand greater impact.
It is zinc plated to prevent rusting and has a curved steel forged blade
to facilitate ease of cutting through your steel drum heads.

The large milled chime guide slot provides better control as the
deheader is guided around the drum chime during the deheading process
and is adjustable with a turn of the 1 inch diameter adjusting knob.
